The sync icon spun.

It spun like it believed in me at first.

Then slower.
Then spiritually slower.

Google Drive began asking questions.

“Are you sure?”

Yes.

“Are you really sure?”

I was in too deep to answer honestly.

Files stacked up like snowdrifts:

• index.html
  
• index(1).html
  
• index_FINAL_REAL_THIS_ONE.html
  

Images named things like:

• banner_1920x1080_v7_NEW.avif

Videos titled:

• final_edit_no_really_final.mp4

My laptop fan sounded like it was trying to escape this plane of existence,
S..so I thought to close it for a moment.
